Hi Everyone, This is the first time I have tried butterflies. My camera wouldn't focus fast enough which was frustrating, but I did manage to get a few. These guys were really fluttering around. I'm going to try to find some more butterfliestomorrow.They are so beautiful:!:Sorry for all the noise.....Ionly use picasa now...some cropping, not much PP. Any comments welcome. bentleysmom

Hi Bentlysmom, nice pictures. Did you use the programed macro or aperture priority?

Thanks Raghu, I was so excited to find these butterflies. They would hardly be still a second...lol... Music, The first two pictures where done in aperture mode and the last two pictures wereshot in tele macro mode..... myEV was set at -1/3 ......I also was using a polarizing filter. I'm glad that you all enjoyed them. bentleysmom

very nice pics! i like the third one, the way the butterfly looks more like a leaf than an insect! and the second one is very well done, nice and sharp, but the backgound is soft, so it provides nice contrast. well done!
